Fedora Equivalent to Debian/Ubuntu's build-essential

I have been playing around with Fedora and Cent lately to get re-acquainted with RPM based Linux distros (it has been 8 or so years since I last bothered).

Anyway, I have grown very used to having certain bundles available to me. For example, on debian or Ubuntu, I would

sudo aptitude install build-essential

to get all of the required packages for compiling software. It seems that Fedora does this a little differently. For the moment, the closest equivalent to build-essential that I could find is:

 sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

More to follow on my adventures in RPM-land.
